Objective:

The primary goal of Mastermind is to correctly guess the secret code created by the computer.

Game Components:

Code Pegs: Used to create the secret code.
Key Pegs: Indicate the correctness of your guesses.
Codebreaker Board: Where you make your guesses.
Decoding Board: Displays the secret code.

Gameplay:

The game begins with the computer randomly generating a secret code using the Code Pegs.
Your task is to guess the code by placing your own Code Pegs on the Codebreaker Board.
After each guess, the computer provides feedback in the form of Key Pegs.
A black Key Peg indicates a correct color in the correct position.
A white Key Peg indicates a correct color but in the wrong position.
Use the feedback to refine your guesses and deduce the secret code.

Selecting Difficulty Levels:

Mastermind offers different difficulty levels to suit players of all skill levels.
To select a difficulty level, navigate to the settings menu before starting a new game.
Difficulty levels may include Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert.
Higher difficulty levels may involve a larger code, fewer guesses, or other challenging elements.

Controls:

Use your mouse to interact with the game.
Click on the Code Pegs to select colors.
Place the selected Code Pegs on the Codebreaker Board.
Submit your guess to receive feedback from the computer.

Winning the Game:

If you correctly guess the secret code within the allotted number of guesses, you win!
If you run out of guesses, the computer will reveal the secret code, and the game ends.

Tips and Strategies:

Start with a diverse initial guess to gather information quickly.
Pay attention to the Key Pegs to eliminate incorrect options.
Use a systematic approach to narrow down possibilities.

Game Over and Replay:
